Happy Monday! This is amazing to think about but Thanksgiving is happening this weekend. Already. Wow! It seems like we just started the year and it is flying by. Reminder to parents:AllergiesWe have students with a wide variety of severe allergies in our classroom this year, including a SEVERE PEANUT ALLERGY. All lunches and snacks should be peanut free...Thanks for your understanding.Library BooksLibrary books/bags must be returned to our class’ yellow box (just inside our class door) by MONDAY. If your child is done with his/her books early, please return them at that time. Let’s work hard to prevent overdue books this year.Home ReadingHome Reading Program will begin on October 16th. Thanks you for your patience and enthusiasm.Show & TellShow & Tell is beginning in class this week. On their day, students are encouraged to bring one “mystery” item to share. Classmates will attempt to guess what the hidden item is by asking questions. Show and Tell items are encouraged to be “made” things, “science” things, “found” things or things related to the theme being studied at the time (TOYS ARE NOT ALLOWED). Pictures are a great way of sharing an event, family member or a pet (due to allergies NO real pets will be allowed in class). If your child is sick for his Show&Tell day, he will get to make up his missed day as soon as he returns to school. If your child forgets his Show&Tell day, he will be encouraged to share (Tell) about something as part of his turn. Children who forget will not be given the opportunity to “make up” Show&Tell.This week for Show & Tell:Monday, Oct 7—Oct. 7-Alexa
